Creamy Tomato Shrimp Penne

Creamy Tomato Shrimp Penne

 3 cups Greek yogurt (non-fat or any variety)
 6 cloves garlic, chopped
 2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/2 pound shrimp
1 pound penne pasta
 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
salt and black pepper
1-2 teaspoons Cayenne pepper
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup chopped basil leaves

 Cook pasta until al dente.

Also, in a mixing bowl, whisk yogurt with tomato paste and salt until smooth.

Meanwhile, in a frying pan, saute garlic in olive oil with shrimp. Then, allow to cool when cooked. This is an important step, because if the pan is too hot, the yogurt will curdle. Next, add yogurt mixture, salt, peppers, and stir vigorously.

 Finally, add parmesan, basil, and stir until evenly distributed. Enjoy!
